Marchesi Antinori Pian delle Vigne Rosso di Montalcino 2024 750ml

Product Info

The Marchesi Antinori Pian delle Vigne Rosso di Montalcino 2024 is a captivating expression of Tuscan winemaking excellence, crafted entirely from Sangiovese grapes in the prestigious Montalcino region. This luminous ruby-red wine awakens the senses with its enchanting bouquet of ripe cherries, succulent plums, bright blood oranges, and delicate spring blossoms that dance gracefully across the palate. With its elegant medium body and refined structure, this wine showcases the hallmark characteristics of its terroir—velvety, well-integrated tannins that caress rather than overpower, balanced by a crisp acidity that keeps each sip vibrant and refreshing. The complexity unfolds beautifully, revealing layers of subtle fruit and earth that lead to a lingering, savory finish that invites another taste. A versatile companion to the table, this approachable yet sophisticated wine pairs beautifully with Italian cuisine, grilled meats, aged cheeses, and rustic fare. Whether enjoyed now or cellared for a few years, it represents the timeless quality and heritage that Marchesi Antinori has cultivated for generations.

Aroma: Fresh red fruit (black cherry, raspberry), blood orange, and white flowers.

Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied with silky, well-integrated tannins.

Finish: Crisp, mineral-driven, and persistent with notes of citrus. 

Winemaking: Grapes are hand-harvested and fermented for 8 to 10 days. The wine is then aged for several months in large wooden casks (traditionally Slavonian oak) to preserve the pure, fruity essence of the Sangiovese grape without imparting heavy oak flavors.

Tasting Style: Think of Sangiovese like a silk scarf: smooth, bright, and elegant rather than heavy. "Rosso" is often called the "baby brother" of Brunello. Unlike the heavily aged Brunello, this wine is designed to be fresh and ready to drink young.
